The bizarre McIntosh/DiAngelo lexicon used is intentionally meant to obfuscate and craft their own narrative.

Peggy Mcintosh's #WhitePrivilege Knapsack garbage article had already been around for a number of years.
In 2011, Robin DiAngelo published another rubbish academic paper titled #WhiteFragility.
The University academics and students began to get indoctrinated with this.

The students and profs were now Woke. Everything now was 100% about #Race and #IdentityPolitics
From 2013 onwards this 'cult' of social justice eventually spread to encompass every type of social grievance in both academia and now today throughout all of society.

#LaineyLui, you are so self-centered and full of yourself.
Look at your social media channels.
Everyone look at me!
You refuse to follow one-single person.
You don't follow your friends and co-workers.
You don't even follow your own family members.

I hope you enjoyed my satirical look at the #LaineyLui confession video.
Her 100s of Racist, Misogynistic, Homophobic #LaineyGossip posts were conscience choices.
She knows what she's doing.
In my opinion, the only things she cares about is,
- Herself and
- Power
